Association between type of anesthesia and length of hospital stay in primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty patients: a single-center retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study explored the risk factors influencing the length of hospital stay (LOS) and establish whether the type of anesthesia is independently associated with the LOS in patients after primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Methods

In this retrospective cohort study, 2309 patients undergoing unilateral TKA were recruited between January 2013 and June 2014 in a tertiary academic medical center in Singapore. Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were used to identify the independent risk factors associated with LOS. Besides, subgroup and interaction analyses were performed to evaluate the relationship between the type of anesthesia and LOS.

Result

In total, 2309 patients were identified. Out of these, 791 patients underwent genera
